The Oswald Family

The Family
The Oswalds are a clan of tailors that span many generations. They are widely known for their craft, and often come highly recommended. Proud, and diligent, they serve their clients to the highest of their capacity. Most Oswalds have an affinity for apes and monkeys. The monkeys, called Jim, often help with the sewing and stitching; while the apes, called Tim, transport materials from the warehouses to the shop.

Arthur T. Oswald
Arthur was the resident Tailor of Blackwater, in Uneasy Tides. Highly enthusiastic and eager to please, he had a shop located near the back of the town. Unlike most tailors, he handled flak armor, as well as desert gear, and ocassionally water-resistant yoga pants. His companions included a Mesopithicus (Jim) and a Gigantopithicus (Tim).

After the great storm, and Blackwater fell to ruins, Arthur had to relocate his ventures. Arthur commisioned the help of Jorah the Brine to build a steamboat, and became a traveling Tailor. The boat had a great top hat that resembled his own, a unique hat he claims his family hand crafted.

When the tailoring business grew slow, he bred mesopithicus, and swashbuckled with Captain Cannonball and crew. It is said he explored caves of both fire and ice, and once met a dolphin-person.

Angus E. Oswald
Angus was the distant ancestor of Arthur T. Oswald. He was the first known Oswald to take up the profession of tailor. Belonging to House Grayhelm, he first appeared in One Kingdom.

Although forgotten to descendants such as Arthur, Angus was not keen to become a tailor. His true passion was the musical arts. He wanted to pack the local taverns with his performances, but his father forbid him. Broken and defeated, Angus fell back on his old hobby of sewing, and became a tailor.
